| Green Co. S report on cotton futures saws:
| The market for cotton contracts has been
variable all day fluctuations appearing to fol
| low contradictory crop accounts On The whole,
| however the tendency was toward somewhat
| greater tirmneSs, and after at one time shading
| fraction under last evening, the market closed
| fully sos points higher on most months and
| pretty firm, and more favorable accounts from
| Liverpool. helping matters somewhat. SO far
| as known no actual damage of a serious charac-
| ter has befallen the crop but at ruling rates
, operators feel inclined TO cover for safety. Au
gust is without any new and special feature, but
| has improved with late months. "

| sellers On the sheet made by the weather map
| there was q tile rain everywhere throughout
